I built a new gaming rig toward the beginning ( see below for specs) of the year and about 6 months ago i started experiencing some issues with the keyboard and mouse lagging or even in some cases the back light on the keyboard will flicker on and off. I originally thought it was probably just malware so I wiped the os and started fresh. I was pretty sure i had it but it came back. So once again i assumed its the same problem and reinstalled but this time it worked but once I installed the "important Updates" using windows update. It started again. so after 5-6 system restores i narrowed it down to the installation of my video drivers. so i tried several different versions of available drivers trying to find one that didn't cause the problem and none of them seem to work without issues. After talking to EVGA's Tech support they said that because its happening on different driver version that its not a issue with the video drivers. So now I'm not sure what to do. Ive made sure that my Bios, and chip set are up to date. Tried different keyboard and mouse combinations. different usb ports. If i boot to safe mode it has no problems. And I've never had any issues while playing games. mostly happens on desktop or while trying to open start menu or clicking on folders. That kind of stuff. ANY IDEAS? I feel like there is some kind of compatibility issue.

Whenever something is intermittent I suspect Overclock, RAM, Power supply, Storage, Motherboard, then software, in that order.
